Fifth Planned Parenthood Video Shows Executive Discussing 'Intact Fetal Cadavers'

An activist group has recently released its fifth undercover video that shows a Planned Parenthood executive discussing how to effectively remove an intact fetus during an abortion procedure so its body parts may then be preserved.

The video, released by the Center for Medical Progress, shows Melissa Farrell, director of research for Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast, discussing the factors that are used to determine if the fetus can be fully removed from the woman's body during an abortion procedure.

"Just depending on the patient's anatomy, how many weeks, where it's placed in the uterus [...] we're going to potentially be able to have some that will be more or less intact and then some that will not be," Farrell says in the video that was allegedly recorded in April from a Planned Parenthood facility in Texas.

"But it's something that we can look at exploring how we can make that happen so we have a higher chance," she adds.

"And we've had studies in which the company, or in the case of the investigator, has a specific need for a certain portion of the products of conception and we bake that into our contract, and our protocol, that we follow this. So we deviate from our standard in order to do that," Farrell continues.

"If we alter our process and we are able to obtain intact fetal cadavers, then we can make it part of the budget, that any dissections are this, and splitting the specimens into different shipments is this. I mean, it's all just a matter of line items," she says.

This is the fifth undercover video to be released from the Center for Medical Progress that seeks to shed light on the inner workings of Planned Parenthood and its procurement of aborted fetal tissue.

While the abortion provider argues that it does not profit from the donation of aborted fetal tissue, the videos have led lawmakers to call for a federal defunding of the abortion organization, as well as an investigation into its practices.
